R6: It''s a presentation rendering of an unexecuted (I hope) design. It looks like the drunken soap bar whittling of a prisoner or a sailor too long at sea, dreaming of the next Chinese turn at hosting the Olympics.

I actually like OP''s casino building but only because it''s a casino and that''s precisely what the design suggests -- like a gushing oil well of easy riches.

Geary, with all the meringue he puts on buildings, can''t compare with the elegant lines of pervious eras.

The new DeYoung Museum of Art in San Francisco looks like a post-nuclear bunker out of Mad Max. You can't see it in the picture, but the tower is actually twisted and skewed, and is an OFFENSE TO THE EYE in person.

While I don't love the outside of the Winspear, the inside is beautiful.

The DeYoung is amazingly bad, how did that design get approved. The old Mission-style building in it's original state was much better. SF is stuck with that DeYoung until the next big one which one can hope will do enough damage to it so there's an excuse to demolish it.

The Freedom Tower is pretty heinous.

The Caltrans District 7 Headquarters in Los Angeles. Ugly gun-metal gray behemoth, nicknamed "The Death Star" by locals.

This one takes the cake. It discragraces the entire Muslim world with it's hideous cheesy immitation of Big Ben with more cheesy cartoonish arabic written on it, is made out of material that will look like crap in 20 years, and could not look more out of place with it's surroundings than any structure on Earth.
